My ideal client is someone who is serious about their treatment and puts in the effort. Counseling needs consistency, one of the main factors that lead to success. I have a lot of experience with clients struggling with cognitive distortions that result from several disorders. I have also helped clients with their goals when they want to change their cognition. I also work well with clients who view the counselor not as a magician and how the clients would view the counselor as a guide in their healing process.

My ideal client is one that is open to change. A client that, even if they see no way through, they trust that I am there to do all I can to help them, not just to listen, watch the clock, and end a session, but to be invested in their transformation from start to finish. My ideal client is one who is comfortable, even if not at first, celebrating themselves and not being fearful about trying again. Things aren't always successful on our first try, but my ideal client will understand this, embrace the lesson in each situation, and be willing to use what they've learned to try again.

I thrive when working with young women. Whether they’re struggling with school-related stress or struggling to process a breakup, I can quickly build rapport with folks in this demographic. My treatment plans include goals dedicated to helping people identify their triggers for emotional dysregulation. I believe in the importance of somatic and cognitive level wellness strategies and work to have my clients learn and implement both sets of skills. I have enjoyed working with a variety of diagnoses, including adjustment disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and PTSD.

My ideal client is someone who is open to first accepting therapy as an intervention to help with what they be struggling with. This client would be open-minded and willing to try different interventions and be truthful about what they are working on and what works for them going through therapy as well as what is not working for them.

My approach begins with the belief that individuals are resilient and may benefit from utilizing their own strengths to increase their resilience. Individuals often ask, “How do I build on my personal strengths?” My philosophy is that it is about identifying several factors; What you are passionate about? What motivates you? What interests allow you to be excited about today and look forward to tomorrow? Identification of these variables assist in attaining lifestyle balance, developing healthy coping skills, recognizing your priorities and problem solving.

My ideal clients are moms struggling with anxiety and looking for support through their transition to motherhood. These women are looking for encouragement and need support as they learn to trust their own intuition.

I enjoy working with clients who are willing to work with me to get them to where they can thrive in life.

My ideal client wants to improve and change to have a more fulfilling life. I enjoy providing clients with the safe and compassionate environment they might need to process their emotions and past trauma to help begin creating a life worth living.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, or the loss of a loved one with a sense of feeling lost, hopeless, and without purpose? Are you struggling with life transitions & open to delving deeper to explore those issues? I primarily work with men like this, who have arrived at this point in life feeling "stuck" or "at a dead end," struggling with relationship issues and feeling disconnected & frustrated. My job is to help you re-negotiate your relationship with your feelings, see you as okay, and understand the meaning of your upbringing or narratives you've learned on "how you ought to be."

Do you have a desire to create change? Are you experiencing feelings of low self-worth? I can help you identify thoughts that perpetuate the cycle of unhappiness and repeated mistakes. Your goals would be to identify thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that contribute to feelings of unhappiness, utilize cognitive restructuring, learn emotion regulation skills, practice gratitude, and include positive affirmations in self-talk.

My Ideal client would be someone willing to put in the work to achieve their goals. My ideal client may be struggling with self-esteem, body image, or relationship issues. They may be in a relationship that contributes to their low self-esteem and want to find the strength and confidence they need in order to leave it behind.

I enjoy working with people who want to improve their life experience, grow as individuals and in relationships, and define and improve their well-being in a collaborative, holistic therapeutic experience. Young adults often speak to me about understanding and resolving their issues, breaking dysfunctional patterns, and developing a healthy sense of self. Overwhelmed parents often come to improve their family relationships and functioning. Adults with a variety of life experiences engage with me to work on issues to gain the insight and empowerment needed to meet their goals, no matter how big or small.

I have a few types of clients that I would like to work with. A youth client who is experiencing ADHD. A few goals may be to improve organization skills, grades, and on-task behavior.
